Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as
appropriate, to allow for timely discussions regarding required disclosures, and that such information is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the company’s
financial reporting. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even any effective
internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further,
because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of any internal control may vary over time.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
January 31, 2010. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our
assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that, as of January 31, 2010, our internal control over
financial reporting is effective.
Our independent registered public accounting firm audited the financial statements included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K and has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Their report appears on pages 63 through 64 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
